‘An informed community is a safer community.’
On October 21, 2024, the National Science Centre hosted a one day Capacity Building Program in collaboration with CBSE to launch four comprehensive manuals on the POCSO Act, 2012.
Ms. Prachi Tyagi and Mrs. Usha Chauhan attended the session and contributed to the discussions on enhancing student safety.
These manuals are designed for teachers, parents, non-teaching staff, and peer educators, aiming to enhance awareness and implementation of child protection measures.
The launch was graced by a distinguished panel, including Mr. Sanjay from the Ministry of Education, Mr. Rahul, Chairperson of CBSE, Dr. Pragya, Academic Director at CBSE, Dr. Pramod Grover, Director of the National Science Centre, along with Mr. Biswajit. Their presence underscored the importance of this initiative in fostering a safe educational environment.
The event included an insightful session focused on the POCSO Act, legal literacy, and psychosocial well-being. Participants engaged in activities and discussions that provided in-depth knowledge about the POCSO Act, emphasizing its relevance in safeguarding children both within and outside school premises.
The outcomes of this session will be implemented in our school to strengthen the framework for student safety, reinforcing the commitment to protect children and fostering a secure educational atmosphere. Through this initiative, we aim to create a more informed and vigilant community dedicated to the well-being of all the students.
